Ministries Director:
As Pennsylvania Christian Endeavor’s Ministries Director, Sam Yeager oversees the Summer Assembly, Life Builders, and various retreats and workshops. The son of a pastor and missionary, Sam began teaching Sunday school in college while earning a bachelor’s degree in business education from Bloomsburg University. He later earned a master of arts in religion, with a concentration in Christian education and youth ministry, and a master of divinity from Evangelical Theological Seminary. His youth ministry experience includes working at summer camps for special needs individuals, junior and senior high summer camps, planning retreats, serving two years as a part-time youth minister, and serving six years as a full-time youth minister. Familiar with Pennsylvania Christian Endeavor from his own years in middle school, Sam took teens to Pennsylvania Christian Endeavor events while he was a youth minister. That involvement eventually led to his full-time employment with the ministry.
